The 3-minute short opens with the protagonist in a state of fatigue at home. A voice-over narration is introduced, allowing the viewers to acknowledge the characters inner thoughts. At school, the girl experiences further emergence of symptoms – severe swelling of her hands and feet. She speaks of the continuous battle of body and mind, on top of the humiliating distinction of her peers. The narrative concludes with a positive twist, as we learn about the kind hearted community of those who suffer.
